The ware transferring mechanism shown herein is of the class sometimes called a take out, being adapted for taking the finished ware out of the molds of a glass shaping ma chine. It is herein shown associated with a glass shaping machine, which is constructed and operated substantially like that disclosed in Patent No. 1,316,550 and is designed to he operatively connected with certain of the ii 116.

Whilethe take out Inechan ism is shown and described as aunitary structure it, will he understood that it may by suitable changes, be incorporated in the structure of the shaping machine s9 as to become an inherent part, thereof.

This left-hand machine has a mold table 1, shnwn by darted lines in Fig. 1, xnmznifieci for intermittent rotation en a vertical spindle :2. and carries a plnrality of divided mollis, the halves 3 of which are hinged upon pins 4 secured to the able 1, (Figs. 2 and 11.} Each mold. is opened closed by a slide 5, which connected to the meld halves by a suitable link conneciion, (Figs. 2 and 11) line actuating mechanism of which will be presently described. Each mold is provided with a batten: plate 6, carried by a vertical st-em 7 which exiends thrnngh the table and is slidably mount-er; in a suitable hearing 8, (Fig. i1 The innlrl table 1 is related by means (if a herizeninl drive shaft- 9, (Fig. 1) prnvirlecl withgi "worm 16 which meshes 'wi a Wm-in gear ll fixed to vertically tiiifl .ing; shaft 1 is provided with two cams, l?

The arm 31, engages the forces the rotator bolt 23 radii and nut; ofithe notch 24 with which it is in engagement at such time (Fig. 1). When the arm 31 is in this position tlie lliilliltfi track 33 is concentric with the path if travel of in roilcr 34 and maintains the winter boil in a retracted position during its celurn nioven'ienii, which ceases when the rotator bolt 23 in ziilignment with the next succeeding nntch 2%. At this stage the cam 29 releases tin. illll'l 31 which, in turn, releases the retain! boil: and permits it to move ra lially into engagement with a succeeding not-ch for the next advancement of the table.

The rotator bolt 23 may be manually withdrawn from the table and held out by means of a treadle 4-3, pivotally mounted in a brackct 44, sup rted on the base of the machine, and provided with an upwardly extending arm which is pivotally connected to an arm 46 of the lever 32 by means of a link 47 By this construction the operator may withdraw the rotator bolt and thus stop the table at any time during the operation of the machine.

It is sometimes desirable to rotate the table of the shaping machine by hand during an inoperative period to change the molds or to make other-adjustments and in order to permit turh free movement the lock bolt 35 may be retracted and held in a retracted position by means of a lever 48 (Figs. 1,17, 18 and 19) which is pivoted as at 49 to a fixed portion of the machine. not shown, and which is adapted to bear against the lock bolt lever 37. The lever 48 is pro\'ided.with an arm 50 having a slot 51 formed therein which is engaged by a crank pin 52 carried by an arm 53 which is fixed to a shaft 54 (Fig. 1). The shaft 54 is journaled in a bearing 55 carried by the casing of the ware transferring mechanism, presently to be described, and is provided with. an operating handle 56. When it is desired to withdraw or hold out the lock bolt 35, the handle 56 is moved through an arc of 180, thereby swinging the arm 53 in an upward direction and causing the lever 48 to force the arm 37 about its pivot 38 and withdraw the lock bolt 35 (Figs. l7 and 19).

The lock bolt 35 is maintained in this retracted position until it is desired to again render it operative by reason of the fact that, when in this position, the crank arm 53 occu pies a position past its dead center, relative to the link 148. Y

The rotator bolt also looked out of action during such time as the lock bolt 35 is rendered inoperative. through the medium of a pawl 57 (Fig. l). which is carried by the lever 37 and adapted to engage behind the arm 31 of the bell crank lever 32. The rotation of the mold table of the shaping machine may thus be discontinued independently of the treadle 42$. for the reason that if the lever 37 is moved to retract the lock bolt 35, the pawl 57 will be carried into the path of movement of the end of the arm Ill of the lever 32 and will fall behind the same upon the first inward movement of the arm 31. As thus far described the construction of the machine is substantially that disclo ed in Patent 1.316.551) above referred to.

The \Htl'o' transferring me hanism f the pre ent invention i carried y a casing 58 which is provided with a cov r 59, and which iucloses the driving elements of the device. This casing is at one side of the shaping min chine and its position is fixed with respect thereto bv means of brackets 60 which are.

fixed to the side wall of the casing and to the base of the machine (Fig. 9). A vertically extending cam shaft 61 is disposed within the casing 58 and mounted in bearings 62 and 63, which are respectively carried by the cover 59 and a housing 64 igs. 6 and 7) A worm gear 65 is rotatably mounted on the shaft 61 and is driven by a worm 66 fixed to a horizontally extending shaft 67 (Fig. 5). This shaft is journaled in bearings 68 provided on the housing 64 and projects through the side wall of the casin and its outer end is provided with a bevefgear 69 which is driven by a bevel gear 70 fixed to one end of a shaft 71 (Fig. 1), which is mounted in bearings 72 and is provided at its other end with a bevel gear 73 which is driven b a bevel gear 74 fixed to the main drive sha t 9 of the shaping machine. A driving connection is effected between the worm gear 65 and the shaft 61 by means of a pawl 75 (Fig. 5)) carried by the worm wheel (55, and adapted to engage a shoulder 76 formed in the periphery of a disk 77 which is keyed to the shaft 61. This pawl is normally held inwardly for engagement with the shoulder 76 by a spring 78 and is provided with a rearwardly extending finger portion 79, the function of which will be presently described.

The elements which open the molds, remove the ware therefrom and steady the ware during its removal from the molds are all carried by a tubular column 80 which is mounted on the cover '59 of the casing 58. This column constitutes a support for inner and outer concentric rock sleeves. 81 and 812 respectively, which extend vertically through the column and into the upper portion of the casing (Fig. 7). The sleeve 81 is rocked within the.outer sleeve means of an arm 83 which is fixed to its lower end and which is provided with a roller 84 for engagement with a cam 85 fixed to the shaft 61. A hub member is fixed to the upper end of the sleeve 81 and provides a bearing for an arm 87 and to which the arm is fixed by means of a removable pin 88 during the normal operation of the machine.

The arm 87 is pivotally connected to an arm 93 which is fixed to a rock shaft 94. by means of a yieldable connection 95 (Figs. 2 and 4). The shaft 94- is journalcd in bearings, which are carried by a stationary portion of the shaping machine. A mold opening lever 96, provided with a cam surface 97, is fixed to the lower end of the shaft 94 and is adapted to be intermittently moved across the path of travel of a roller 98 which is carricd by the mold actuating rod 5. The action of the lever 96 is so timed that when a mold comes to rest at the transfer station. the lever 96 swings about its pivot and into engagement with the roller 98 thereby forcing the mold actuating rod 5 radially inwards to open the mold.

When the lever 96 occupies such a position, the rollers 98 wilhqnccessivelv engage the who anrface '97 and he forcocl rm- (lially inwards to open the respective molds at the transfer station without depending upon the oscillation of the lever 96 for this purpose. This is accomplished by transfen ring the pin 88 to the ziperi'inres 89 and 9453 which are respectively provided. in the arm 8? and in a bracket 91'carried by the column (Fig. '7). By so doing, the arm 8? is dis connected from the huhSG and lockeilto the bracket 91in the position shown in Fig 2. For convenience the arm 87 may be moved manually in order to :ilign'the apertures 89 and 90 by the use of lever com ting; of a bar or pipe inserted in a socket all. which is provided for that purpose on the Filth, oi the arm (Figs. 2 and 3).

The yielclahle connection preferably comprises a rod 99, one cnrl of which is pivotally connected to the arm 87. The other and of the. rod 99 is slidahly disposed in :1 block 100 which is pivotally connected to the arm 93. A coiled spring 101 surrounds the rod Wand is disposed between collars 10). and 103 which are. respectively carried by the rod 99 and the block 100 4). This construction provides a connection of null? cicnt rigidity to meet? with normal operating; conditions. but in tho event that an abnormal strain is encountered, ouch may he occasioned by a mold lf'fllzilllg to open, the movement; of the lever 36 will cease when it en- ;rugos the roller )9 of such mold. and the ro l 'Llil will siiile through the hhwl; it ll tlfjjllllrl the cuz hioning notion of if; 1 l l. \Viwn the lt'Vtl {)6 is loclic l in v oi the mare from tlw I: lie fol-v il nlwmi gagesthccommunion351 m a 2 l l -3; to slide along ihr iml Ail.

The possible hreaknge of the parts, i'l molds fail to o igen, or if the ware l'flC' J HCF fixed therein, is provided against by having a slipping connection between the nrni (ill and the stem 7. .As shown in Figs. 5) anal l i the jaws 1 pivoted on the arm list me i noctecl by a spring 12. 3 and are provirlwl w. shoulder portliiini 124: which m adapted to ongage the. arm .l M to limit the inward movement of the jaw illltl to provide sntliciezn; clearance for tlw-pasoagc tlierehntn' eii of a ()n the dm'irm'niwl wovein nl of the jaws. the bottom plate will be y-r-itirrly lowered through the engagement cl th s jaws with the heml 125.

321 M, At this time the arm 104 01 th trans iv! nwclmnism occupies-the position shown in full lines in Fig. 2. with the fingers 106 over iiiP m ld. When n bottle is raised, the head of in lioitle which is larger than the open- :no u nrnl elevates the ware from the ingr between the lingers 106, raises and thus opens the lingers (Fig. 14.) until they allow the head to pass through, when they fall back to a horizontal, position surrounding the neck portion oi the bottle (Fig. 151). The bottom plate 6 then descends and leaves the bottle suspended by its head between the tin {,It'tS 106 (Fig. it) ready to be swung to a delhery station.

To prevent dislodgmcnt oi the ware from the bottom plate ti by the opening of the mold or while it is being elevated from the mold. a steadying pin 1:27 is provided which descends into the ware before the mold opens (Figs. 12 and 13) and raises therewith until it is pro erlyfluositioned between the fingers 106 o the transferring arm (Figs. 14, 15 and 16). This pin also provides lateral support for blanks l'itlvlllg imperfect bottom portions, such as may result from incomplete blowing, and which are therefore unable, of the) el\ s, to stand in an upright position. Tinn1 is suspended from an arm 1-28 by means of a pin 129 (Fig. 7). Th pin 19.9 is replaceable and is prefe ably made from a suitable frangible. material, such as cast iron or brass, so that if undue strain is brought to bear upon the steadying pin 127, the pin 129 will break without causing other damage to the machine or to'the pin 127. The arm 128 is fixed to the upper end of a. norerotatable, vertically movable rod 130. which is mounted to slide within the inner rock sleeve 81, being pre vented from rotating by meansnt an arm 131. fixed to the lower portion of the rod and projects into a vertical guideway 132 on a side wall of the casing 58 (Fig. 7). The rod 13d is reciprocated to raise and lower the stead ying pin 127 in timed relation to the horizontal swinging movement of the transter arm 104 liv means oi a lever 13?; pivotally mounted on the casing; at 134 and provided with a-cam roller 13.? for engagement with a cam 13?: lived to the power sha it 61. A cushioned action between the rod 130 and the lever 133 is etl't-cted .by means of a plunger 137, which is stated in a recess in the end of the rod 130 and is pressed by a spring 138 into engagement with the lever .133. By this construction the uo-sible breakage of the parts avoided in the event that the rod 131') should be improperlv held up and dropped upon the lever.

The action of the steadying pin 127 with espect to the transfer arm is as follows:

L'oon th arrival of a mold at the transfer $1.11 ion. the r-ltilll) ing pin 127 deg-"ads do the l& mtwt-cn the lingers 106 heltre tee mold i, o ened. and rises simultaneously with the ware when the latter is elevated by the bottom plate 6. As soon as the ware is engaged beiv wn the lingers 106. the bottom plate 6 dewds. as has. been previously described, the t t. .tdying pin continuing to rise until it is entirely withdrawn from thew-are. The trans- 1 c1 Arm to the!) wings horizontally to transfer the ware to a delivery station, where it is removed by a conveyor mechanism, presently to be described.

The operation of the transferring mechanism may be discontinued, either simultaneously with that of the shaping machine, or independently thereof by means of the mechanism shown in Figs. 5, 6, .17, 18 and 19.

A rock shaft 139 extends transversely aloi one side of the casing 58 and is mounted 1n bearings 140 carried by a side wall thereof (Figs. 5 and 6). A treadle lever 141 (Figs. 1 and 19) is fixed at one extremity of the shaft i459 and extends to a position beneath the treadle lever 43 of the shaping machine. The lever 141 is held in an upward direction for engagement with the lever 43 by a 3 ring 141. An arm 142 is fixed to the sha t 139 and is pivotally connected to one end of a. latch bar 143 which is slidably mounted in the .wackct 6-1 for movement into and out of the path of travel of the finger portion 7 9 of the pawl 75. An arm 144 is also fixed to the shaft 139 and is engageable by a dog 145 which is pivoted to a side wall of the casing 58.

When the shaping machine is in operation, the treadle lever 43 oscillates vertically under the action of the cam 29 and the bell crank lever 32, moving the trcadle 141 witlrit. and effecting a corresponding oscillation of the Pork bat't 135 and the latch arm 142 and moving the latch bar 143 into and out of the path of travel of the finger portion 79 of the pawl T5. The pawl 75 is so positioned on the worm wheel with respect to the reciprocation of the latch bar 143 that, under normal conditions, the finger portion {9 passes the latch bar when the latter is in a retracted position. If. however, the treadle bar 141 is held in a depressed position either by the treadle lever 43 or independently thereof, e lati'n bar 143 will be maintained in the pah of the finger portion 79. As a result, the pawl 75 will be swung out at every rotation 0 (3:3 so as to clear the shoulder 76, and will he thereby prevented from establishing a driving conne tion with the shaft 61. The operation of .11 the parts which receive powerfrom the drive shaft 61 will consequently be discontinued. The mechanism is so timed that when the operation thereof is thus discontinued the various parts of the transferring mechanism occupy positions of safety remote from the shaping; machine and without the path of travel of the molds and their associated parts. If it is desired to maintain the transferring mechanism inoperative independently of the operation of the shaping machine, -lever 141 is maintained in its depressed position with the latch bar 143 extending into the path of the pawl 7 5, by moving the dog 145 into engagement with the arm 144, as illus trated in (Figs. 5, 6 and 19).

It is desirable, however, to stop th waretransferring mechanism when the andle the treadle the worm gear opcratcd to stop thc operation ot thc shaping n'nichinc, thcrciiy cticcting thc stoppagir of both (if thou. machincs ivy a single manual oi oratlon.
